Mt. Shasta is located at the northern extremity of the Sierra Nevada
Mountain range located in Siskiyou County in Northern California. Mt. Shasta
is the cone of an extinct volcano rising to a height of over 14,380 feet
above sea level. It is the largest volcanic peak in the continental United
States.

Mt. Shasta is a special place. The mountain is a mystic power source.
It is the focus for angels, spirits, spaceships, and the Lemurians. Strange
lights, clouds, shadows and sunsets add to the mystical aura of the mountain.

A long tunnel stretches away, far into the interior of majestic Mt. Shasta.
The Lemurians lie at the tunnel's far end. Using their mastery over sound
and vibrations they hollowed out an underground city. Lemuria was once a
great continent connected to parts of California, Oregon, and Washington.
Lemuria disappeared into the Pacific Ocean many thousands of years ago in
a vast cataclysm. Some Lemurian people migrated to Mt. Shasta when their
continent began to sink.

The Saint Germain Foundation is an organization with a worldwide membership
of over five thousand people that began when the group's founder, Guy W.
Ballard, claimed to have had an encounter with the "Ascended Master"
Saint Germain on the slopes of Mt. Shasta in 1930. Ballard stopped one day
at a mountain spring for a drink and felt a strange current pass through
his body. Then he encountered Saint Germain. Germain gave Ballard some small
cakes which gave him a new sense of health and clearness of mind.

In 1985 Tai Situpa Rinpoche, one of Tibet's most revered lamas, flew
over Mt. Shasta while on his way to San Francisco from Europe. He said that
he was amazed about the majestic appearance of the mountain. "It looked
perfect! It stayed in my mind and I felt that one day I must go and do a
traditional Tibetan ceremony there to offer prayers for the environment."
Rinpoche later on did perform such a ceremony in October 1989. At that time
he said, "We should thank the spirits of this place, they have given
us a perfect day; they recognize our intentions."

American Indians believed that Mt. Shasta was of such immense grandeur
that its existence could only be attributed to the Great Spirit. They also
believed that an invisible race of little people lived on its slopes as
guardians. If you tried to climb the mountain and were found to be an unworthy
person, they would throw you off to your death! They also have legends of
Bigfoot and other mysterious beings and forces connected with Mt. Shasta.

Today Mt. Shasta is surrounded by groups like the Saint Germain Foundation,
Planetary Citizens, Brotherhood of the White Temple, Radiant School of Seekers
and Servers, League of Voluntary Effort (LOVE), and a Zen monastery, among
others, which have felt a calling to locate near it. The Harmonic Convergence
gathering of over five thousand people was held there August 16, 1987. The
occasion was intended to herald a new phase of world cooperation and harmony.
Mt. Shasta was chosen because it was considered among the most sacred mountains
on earth.

Another sacred mountain is to be found in Tiruvannamalai, South India.
This is Mt. Arunachala, which is considered by many in India to be a form
of the Hindu God Shiva. The Hindu sage Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi said that
Mt. Arunachala was a remnant of the lost continent of Atlantis. That and
the fact the mountain was formed by a volcanic eruption make its story similar
to that of Mt. Shasta. Actually, you will soon see that there are other
similarities as well!

According to the occultist Kenneth Grant, Mt. Arunachala constitutes
the most powerful concentration of spiritual energy on this planet. And
from the ancient Hindu scripture known as The Skanda Purana we have these
verses: "Arunachala is the most sacred holy place of all. It is the
heart of the world. Know it to be the secret and sacred heart-center of
the God Shiva. Meditate then that in the Heart of Arunachala surges the
spirit glory within which is contained all the worlds. I ordain that residence
within a circle of thirty miles of this mountain shall alone suffice to
burn off all defects and blend a person with the Supreme Spirit."

Brilliant lights are seen to sail about Arunachala that seem to be under
intelligent control. There is supposed to be a city inside of the mountain.
It is inhabited by yogic adepts. Upon death if you are not quite high enough
to merge with the Supreme Spirit then you might at least go to live inside
Arunachala. The adepts from inside Arunachala can change their shape to
any human or animal form and travel incognito in the outside world. This
is similar to the stories about the Lemurians from Mt. Shasta. The Hindu
sage Ramana Maharshi said that Arunachala was the top of the spiritual axis
of the earth and that there must be another mountain corresponding to it
at the opposite side of the globe. I am suggesting in this article that
that other mountain is Mt. Shasta. But whether that is true or not, there
is no doubt in my mind that Mt. Shasta and Mt. Arunachala are two of the
major spiritual power spots of planet Earth.
